But it's mind-boggling that any subordinate couldn't understand that such levels of depravity and insanity could land them in legal trouble, and that's besides the ethical issue.

A person's smartphone is not the same as luggage, because one is an electronic device and the other is not, which should be common sense. Treating both as the same doesn't make any…
